Secreted alkaline phosphatase assays

The Great EscAPe SEAP kits use a secreted alkaline phosphatase assay to analyze cis-acting DNA sequences and trans-acting factors. The kinetics of gene expression can easily be studied with this secreted alkaline phosphatase assay by repeatedly sampling the same culture. The kit has an extremely low background signal, with a wide dynamic range and high sensitivity. Furthermore, the robust signal is extremely stable over time. Cells can be studied further after the secreted alkaline phosphatase assay using northern blots, RNase protection assays, western blots, and other methods.

Fluorescence-based detection

The Great EscAPe SEAP Fluorescence Detection Kit uses the fluorescent substrate 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (MUP) and has sensitivity comparable to firefly luciferase assays. Like the chemiluminescence assay, the secreted alkaline phosphatase fluorescence assay is linear over a 104-fold range of enzyme concentrations.

Dual secreted reporter assay—SEAP & luciferase

The Ready-To-Glow Dual Secreted Reporter Assay has two live cell reporters that do not require cell lysis. In addition to secreted alkaline phosphatase, it includes Metridia luciferase, which has a 2–4 fold higher signal compared to Renilla and firefly luciferases.

631738 Great EscAPe™ SEAP Chemiluminescence Kit 2.0 1,000 Rxns USD $1049.00

The Great EscAPe SEAP Chemiluminescence Kit 2.0 is a complete system for the detection of secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) activity in the growth media from mammalian cells expressing this enzyme. The kit contains reagents necessary for the chemiluminescent detection of SEAP activity using a 96-well plate luminometer. The assay can also be performed in single tubes and measured in a tube luminometer. It allows you to monitor promoter activity over time, because samples of the cell media can be taken repeatedly and tested without lysing cells.

SEAP activity is highly specific, with a >20-fold increase in activity. HEK 293 cells were transiently transfected with a promoter construct containing CRE driving the expression of SEAP, or mock-transfected. 12 hr posttransfection, the cell culture media was replaced by media containing either 10 μM forskolin or plain cell culture media and incubated for 7 hr. Forskolin causes an increase in the level of cytosolic cAMP, which in turn activates CRE, driving the expression of SEAP, which is detectable in the media culture supernatant. The samples were assayed using the Great EscAPe SEAP Chemiluminescence Kit 2.0 and its protocol and analyzed on a BD Monolight 3096 Luminometer.

Chemiluminescent detection of protein-protein interactions

Chemiluminescent detection of protein-protein interactions
Chemiluminescent detection of protein-protein interactions. The bait vector pM-53 expresses p53 fused to the GAL4 DNA-binding domain. When HEK 293 cells were cotransfected with this bait together with the SV40 large T antigen prey vector, pVP16-T, strong expression of SEAP was detected because large T antigen interacts with p53. The CP protein, which does not interact strongly with p53, was used as a negative control.

The Ready-To-Glow Dual Secreted Reporter Assay contains the buffers and substrates for use with the vectors contained in the Ready-To-Glow Dual Secreted Reporter Vector Kit (Cat. No. 631735). This assay allows you to monitor the activity of two promoters simultaneously. The promoters are monitored by testing the media from cells that have been transfected with the two reporter vectors, which express luciferase and SEAP respectively. The assay allows you to monitor promoter activity over time, because samples of the cell media can be taken repeatedly and tested without lysing cells.

Similar secretion kinetics of Metridia secreted luciferase and SEAP enable accurate comparisons of the relative timing of promoter activity. HeLa cells were plated into 6-well plates and transiently transfected with either the pMetLuc-Control vector or the pSEAP-Control vector. Media samples from the transfected cells were collected from 3 wells at each time point by removing enough media to run either the luciferase or the SEAP assay. Each sample was tested in triplicate, using a white-bottom 96-well microtiter plate on a Turner BioSystems Veritas Luminometer.
